The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Omahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
